Music Review: Nightwish





















NIGHTWISH (category: symphonic metal)
--(If you wanna read more)--

okay, I know what you're thinking.. I've never fsking heard of Nightwish...who the hell are they? That's what I thought when my friend told me about them, but wow, this is TALENT... Not only does the lead singer (female) have a rich beautiful voice, but the tracks are hella well-produced... We're talking metal here folks, so obviously there is a bunch of killer guitars. There are some really quality riffs in their music, along with some very prominent bass licks as well. A noted quality about their music is the addition of keyboards. There's a certain underlying melody they provide that harmonizes with the lead singer's voice quite well,... There are certain times when I feel that the chorus is a bit too 'epic' or whatever ...maybe too much melody??? Also, some of their tracks are kinda slow, and not very metal-ly, but regardless of that, this is good stuff, peoples.
Check out some of their albums if this sounds like you would enjoy it:

CENTURY CHILD (2002)
WISHMASTER (1996?)

Who would I compare them to:
Think of Enya doing metal... in fact that's a really good comparison. wow, she DOES sound like Enya.. .creepy.
